Super Lather Crochet Washcloth Pattern

Author:

Kimberly is a 19-year-old jewelry artist, soap maker, and crocheter. She lives happily with her boyfriend in northern Minnesota.

This pattern works up super fast since it uses primarily double crochet, making it a perfect option for decorating your bathroom or for last minute gifts for any holiday. This washcloth has several rows of a front post double crochet combination, which makes it nice and textured. The texture helps lather your soaps and exfoliate your skin. It can be made with any 100% cotton yarn worsted weight 4; this one is made with the Lily's Sugar'n Cream yarn (variegated).

Well, let's move onto the pattern and get hooking!
